Event Other details
It was not only the organisers of the Kitzbühel BG Triathlon World Cup who were impressed by a glowing CV the day after the Premier, the directors of the International Triathlon Union (ITU) and the sportsmen and women were all equally thrilled. 'There has never been a World Cup location running such a successful first race', beams Sheila O’Kelly, organiser of the Triathlon World Cup events, director of the Rosen Kitzbühel Triathlon Association. 'Everything ran perfectly in Kitzbühel, two ideal races, a great atmosphere and magnificent scenery for the spectators.' The Canadian O’Kelly said that until now, she had only experienced Kitzbühel as a Winter sports location. But she is now aware that Kitzbühel is also capable of organising outstanding races in summer. 'I can see Kitzbühel occupying a long-term position in the Triathlon World Cup', said the director, looking towards the future.
